RMN. You heard it first on August 28,1952. When the airlane echoed the words that made one man's dream a reality - "This is Radio Station DXCC, Cagayan de Oro calling..." The dreamer is Henry R. Canoy. The reality is what Radio Mindanao Network is today. The rest is a lot of radio memories, newsmakers and five decades of dedicated public service.So swiftly have those fifty years passed that it seems only yesterday that Henry R. Canoy's dream of establishing a radio station in Cagayan de Oro become a reality. How was he to know that the crude transmitter he built out of odds and ends from army supply stores and junkshops would be the start of a state-of-the-art radio network that is RMN today?The goal of DXCC then was not merely to entertain the public, but to inform and educate them as well. At that time, the main source of information were the newspapers from Manila. Television was in its infancy, and radio still a toddler.In 1954, Henry R. Canoy visited the United States under an observation grant. Instead of going to the giant networks and other big cities, he asked to be taken to the boondocks, as it were. And in the small backwater town of Greeley, Colorado, he came upon a station that was doing exactly what DXCC was already trying to do in Mindanao. Its broadcast fare was peppered with farm prices, market and road conditions, weather warnings and personal messages. He came back more determined than ever to prove that radio could be a strong social force and agent of change. It is no idle boast to say that DXCC, and later RMN, paved the way for excellence in news, public affairs, and public service broadcasting in the country.
